COP to discuss questionnaire results

By Leah Campbell | October 5, 1995

The Committee on Organization and Policy will meet on Tuesday to discuss results from a survey sent in the Winter term evaluating the Academic Honor Principle, and will probably release a response to the survey later this term. Geography Professor Richard Barff, who chairs the COP, said the honor principle survey was sent to 800 students and faculty after Dean of the College Lee Pelton requested a comprehensive survey. Barff said he thinks the honor principle is "probably not in crisis" although the committee has not yet released any of the survey's findings. The point of Tuesday's COP meeting will be to draw conclusions from survey results in the hope of drafting a "response" to campus opinion of the honor principle, Barff said.

BlitzMail available for free

By Amy Semet | October 4, 1995

Dartmouth recently stopped its efforts to market its electronic-mail program to corporations and universities because no one bought the program after it had been on the market for about two years. Now, anyone who wants to use BlitzMail, which was developed at Dartmouth in 1987, can do it free of charge. In April 1993, Dartmouth Computing Services offered BlitzMail up to prospective buyers for commercial and educational use. At that time, officials said they would charge $500 for a university license.
